I'm on the fence about the GR, personally. Not my idea, didn't even
respond when people called for comments on it. Certainly other methods
would be preferred by everyone.

These appear to disagree with each other and I'm not sure which to
follow. Certainly I understand the tendency (I've done it myself,
though I'm not proud of it) to ignore/delay issues when they're brought
up by people I'm not a big fan of. Unfortunately, in general these are
not the only people affected by the issues and ignoring/delaying them
hurts others. I also don't see those people/actions as a justification
for ignoring/delaying things which are clearly larger than the few
people and their actions.
